Upgrade the Firmware
Before you perform a firmware upgrade, you must:
1.
Download the upgrades file(s), which are in WinZip format onto a folder on the local FTP
server.
2.
Obtain the IP address of the FTP server.
3.
Obtain the file path to the upgrade file(s). This is the path to the extracted upgrade files (For
example, cert_pact.tgz) on the FTP server.
4.
Obtain a user account (Optional) if “anonymous” access to the FTP server is not supported.
The Firmware Upgrade feature allows you to upgrade the Dominion SX unit's firmware to a
newer version. These upgrades preserve user-defined settings. You do not need to re-configure
the unit after the upgrade is complete.
Important: During an upgrade procedure, do not attempt to access any unit features or
functions, including, but not limited to, Reset and Exit. Interrupting the upgrade
procedure can cause memory corruption and render the unit non-functional. Such an
action may void your warranty or service contract, and in such a case unit
repair/replacement costs are solely the responsibility of the user.
Note: Many upgrades can be performed "anonymously" from the FTP server.
